Ozzy Osbourne/PA, USA 1986

Ozzy Osbourne during the Jake E. Lee era introduced the new music “heavy metal” to the whole world and rose to become the king of the scene. A new masterpiece is born. What is inscribed on the new masterpiece is “Bethlehem performance on April 18, 1986.” This is a powerful audience recording. If you’re a discerning person, you might already be able to figure it out. Speaking of “Bethlehem in the Jake era,” the masterpiece “BETHLEHEM 1984 (Zodiac 434)” whose press CD was very popular is still fresh in our minds, and this work is a sequel to that masterpiece. It is not only the same city, but also a genuine sister edition where the same recording artist recorded Ozzy & Jake again at the same venue. Also, from a different perspective, this day was also an act of “THE ULTIMATE SIN Tour”. As usual, let’s check the show position from the tour panoramic view. 1986/February 6th-March 4th: UK (20 performances)《“THE ULTIMATE SIN” released on February 22nd》/March 27th-May 20th: North America #1 (37 performances)←★ Coco★・May 24th-June 2nd: Japan (7 performances)・June 10th-August 3rd: North America #2 (30 performances)・August 16th-31st: Europe (MOR4 performances)・September 5th – October 12th: North America #3 (25 performances) 1987 ・February 23rd: Hollywood (Jake’s final performance) This is a summary of activities from the completion of “THE ULTIMATE SIN” to Jake’s departure. This tour is based on the ultimate soundboard album “KANSAS CITY 1986 COMPLETE”, but the Bethlehem performance of this work is also the same “North America #1” leg. It was the 16th performance, 17 days after the Kansas City one. This work recorded at such a show is worthy of being called a “sequel to a masterpiece.” I wrote earlier that “the recording artists are the same”, but in fact, it was discovered by the same prestigious “Krw_co”, and the freshness that was precisely digitized from the original cassette is exquisite. Actually, it’s not as close and super direct as the previous work “BETHLEHEM 1984”, but that’s not to say it’s far off. In fact, it has a more beautiful and elegant sound than “BETHLEHEM 1984”, which was so powerful that it was on the verge of cracking, and the contrast of the strong core running through the middle of the sound makes it feel like listening to an FM broadcast. What is depicted with such a neat sound is “THE ULTIMATE SIN Tour”, which has changed from the previous work even though it was the same Jake era. Normally, I would refer to the same tour’s definitive album “KANSAS CITY 1986 COMPLETE”, but since this work is a sister edition, let’s compare it with the older sister “BETHLEHEM 1984”. Classics (6 songs)・Sabbath: Iron Man・Blizzard of Oz: Suicide Solution/Mr. Crowley/I Don’t Know/Crazy Train・Diary of Madman: Flying High Again Jake’s original (6 songs)・Bark At The Moon ・Crime and Punishment: Never Know Why (★) / Shot In The Dark (★) / Killer Of Giants (★) / Thank God For The Bomb (★) / Secret Loser (★) * Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard on the sister album “BETHLEHEM 1984”. …and it looks like this. The classics group is the same as “BETHLEHEM 1984”, but a large number of “THE ULTIMATE SIN” numbers are introduced. The tour that focuses on new songs so far is unprecedented in Ozzy’s entire career, and the color of Jake, who was the band mass, is in full swing. Perhaps, for those who pay attention to this article, the set of “THE ULTIMATE SIN Tour” itself is not uncommon. However, it is extremely rare worldwide that you can experience the “BARK AT THE MOON Tour” at a fixed point in a sister collection with the same venue, same recorder, and same excavator. Powerful audience recording of “April 18, 1986 Bethlehem Performance”. This is the “Crime and Punishment Tour” edition, performed at the same venue and by the same recording person as the press masterpiece “BETHLEHEM 1984” of “Bark at the Moon Tour”. Moreover, since it was discovered by the same prestigious “Krw_co”, it is also the same as the ultimate freshness that was digitized directly from the original cassette. Although it is not as direct as “BETHLEHEM 1984”, probably due to the difference in seats, this work exceeds the beauty/gloss of the sound. This is a valuable sister work that allows you to experience two tours from Jake’s era at a fixed point in the same recording artist collection.
